The way that you talk about your work is important, be enthusiastic.

Social Media - 

Half of their work comes from social media contact. Instagram and Twitter mostly. Also important tot also interact with 

Other designers are on Instagram who might not need design so its good to go outside of that as well

"Be professional but be yourself"

Summary 

In summary, I found this talk really interesting. The variety in which their work was created was refreshing in the style and manner it was created in, their philosophy of making people smile was very apparent. What was most memorable was their advice within approaching and representing yourself as a designer, I took note of this and hope to apply it within this brief.
